Yes, covered, was one of our geldings with him actually several years ago. Lyme symptoms can vary greatly from horse to horse, but are generally: low grade, intermittent fever and loss of appetite, intermittent claudication in the legs that are different but can be explained by other reasons such as injuries, slow and low energy levels ( The horse in question, and missed the post, as he did) in a bad mood or irritable behavior, if the horse is mounted or work (this is because the joints of horses infected throat) and general apathy or fatigue. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics, usually the antibiotics of the tetracycline group, such as doxycycline or tetracycline itself. The disease is diagnosed with a blood, not a special title that both veterinarians and physicians can identify the bacteria causing the infection. It usually takes about 3 weeks to a month of intensive antibiotic treatment to clear a case of Lyme, and the horse for the disease every year retested after recovery, at least forthe early years.
Lyme disease is most common in the northeastern United States and the Midwest, especially in areas with high concentrations of deer ticks. It is possible to get too, I'm sure you know, but you can set to work with an infected horse, the horse a wide range of end-stage disease. Lyme disease is not treated, can lead to complications such as arthritis and founder of horses. Most infected horses again without any problems. Our gelding again completely, and it is on 27 January next year, so it appears to be no lasting effect on him. Dogs can also catch Lyme disease, but in his case, that there is no vaccine available that will prevent it. If you live in a tick prone area, you should consult your vet to vaccinate your dog. I have my dog vaccinated every year because what we do.
